The difference between monks and Taoists

First, the essential difference

Taoism is a native religion in China, and Buddhism is a religion originated from Nepal. To put it simply, monks work in foreign companies and Taoist priests work in state-owned enterprises.

Second, the difference in appearance.

1. Monks are bald. Buddhism pays attention to getting rid of three thousand troubles and no longer being contaminated with dust, so Buddhist monks don't leave their hair.

2. Taoists have hair. Taoism pays attention to "respecting heaven and ancestors". Parents suffer from body hair, and the skin is not easily damaged, so Taoist priests store hair.

Third, the difference between treating family members.

1. Monks become monks and call benefactors when they meet their parents and elders. After he became a monk, his parents washed his feet, which was his parents' blessing.

2. After becoming a monk, Taoist priests learn Confucian classics such as Tao Te Ching and Hundred Filial Piety Ching, but they will only show more respect for their families, parents, family members and elders. Instead of calling parents to donate sperm.
